Quote from: V21 on September 13, 2021, 07:14:40 PMHey guys. All is good with the nail. My clicking problems are caused by strong bone formation and the inflammation that happens at this stage. In order to solve it, the doctor has given me ibuprofen, which is supposed to fight the inflammation. To be honest, it worked on my left leg: pain went from 7 to 5, and I was able to do all my clicks without screaming. However, my right leg (it's the bad one) felt the same, and I wasn't able to click at all. Dr. says that this leg has much more inflammation, so I have to take a few more pills during the day and try again tomorrow. I will do it, hopefully it works. If it doesn't... what options do I have? Clicking under anesthesia? Besides, due to my strong bone growth, I have do 1.33 mm per day instead of 1 mm, and right now that's impossible to do in my right leg. With luck, I can get one click after trying 45 minutes lol. I hope this leg is better tomorrow.
BTW: I'm at 2.2 cm left leg, 2.1 cm right leg
Yeah, it is due to rapid bone formation as I suspected, which was the same case with me. You just need to apply so much more force to twist your leg, and your muscles hate you for it. This is a problem with all Albizzia nails. I had the same problem with Betz. It gets better once you past 3cm, and much better past 5cm. Ibuprofen and hot water are the only things that helped me. Massage didn't do much.
Unfortunately, we were the unlucky ones. I envied those who had no clicking problems.

I don't know what's happening guys, but I can't get the click on the right leg. I push trought extreme pain and get to a 90 degrees twist and nothing happens. This is extremely frustrating and takes a heavy toll mentally. In theory the nail is ok according to the X rays, but I don't know if these nails can get "stuck". The nurse thinks is due to bone formation and inflammation, and at this point I have asked the clicks to be performed under anesthesia just to make it work again. These days have been really bad. The left leg clicks much easier after taking Ibuprofen, the doctor was right with that. But I don't know wtf happens in the right.
albizzia and gnail remain bearing nails rather very resistant to any test the largest remain the clicks the first 3 weeks basically you break the bone with the clicks I find it spoils the procedure making clicks with the swollen leg of the operation remains a hell you end up in a sweat with sick pains to bend your leg fortunately just 15 days
Update: Dr. Giotikas just called and told me to go to his office tomorrow at 3 pm. He will try to do the clicks on me. I feel much more comfortable this way: if he can do it with better technique fine, and if he can't he will realise there is a problem and will find a solution. I was getting desperate of trying everything by myself, so this is very good.
Clicking tomorrow under anesthesia.

Good luck, bro! Sounds like it's the right thing to do in the current situation. Once you get those clicks behind you, I'm sure it will be much better.

On the bright side, you will probably get 3mm or so in one go. Good luck mate, keep us updated

Yeah, just hope it works. Dr. Giotikas tried really hard to make me click today, but nothing happened. He is very confident that the nail is ok: it clicked no problem until 3 days ago, the X rays look perfect, there is no consolidation yet... and thinks that my pain and inflammation is so high that the mechanism cant work with me awaken. However, I'm terrified there is some kind of nail malfunction. The Dr. himself admits none of this is my fault and I'm a very compliant patient. Just hoping it works, cause I definetely can't afford other surgery, and I don't know if in a case like this the manufacturer takes responsability. It would be a nightmare to have sacrificed so much to get here and end up at 2.2 cm only. I will update tomorrow.

Doesn't make sense to me. Let's see what happens. Maybe he'll have to do a lot of tries to make the clicks work again. Maybe the nail is stuck or something so he'll do a lot of tried and it'll start working again. He should've given you NSAIDs from the beginning. Parihar gives NSAIDs to keep inflammation in control for 1st month.
You will have to do each click in stages. Apply some force each time. The pain is too great if you do it in one go.
If it turns out to be a nail defect, that's big news.
